Thoughts on social media and the cultural impact, data related topics, and my personal ramblings. Some book reviews, music reviews, the occasional movie review, and product review if something really strikes me as awesome.

Life after Bernie

Watching the Trump campaign unravel on their own and the always looming scandal over Hillary makes me wonder is there life after Bernie?

The Bernie camp has started a new push called "Our Revolution" it's a little a harder to get behind donating money to a more amorphous cause. I feel like you need a face with the cause to keep interest and focus alive. Of course the modest amount of media attention that Bernie got during his campaign also helped. Now that coverage is done, Bernie has a battle to try and stay on the stage given all the nonsense coming out of the presidential race.

August 24th Bernie is doing a live stream for "Our Revolution" and attendance for this event if substantial may be just what we need to keep the progressive agenda on the ballot. I'll be tuning in to see what happens and we will see what if anything the media does with this event.
